There is a trade volume of hundreds of thousands of taels a year as a guarantee, and there are common enemies, and the secrecy of the secret can be ensured.

The various conventions after the signing of the secret treaty are of little significance and will not have much impact on both parties.

A "Convention on the Prohibition of Slavery in the Country", although France is engaged in the slave trade, but there are no "slaves" in the country, and the land in France is fertile, in fact, few people go to the Americas to do indentured slavery, even if there is, change the name: indentured long-term employment is.

It is useful for the two major losing parties not to trade the nationals of the members of the State party as slaves.

There is also a "Seafarers' Rescue Convention", which is actually just for show, and it is not very useful at this time.

Dashun just wants to take this opportunity to try to participate in today's international politics and follow a dual-track system.

Within the scope of traditional tribute, the tributary system is maintained.

Maintain egalitarian diplomacy outside the traditional tributary sphere.

is different from what Liu Yu envisioned, and the emperor, who has been paying attention to the Sino-French negotiations all the time, has his own ideas.

What Liu Yu wanted was to seize Nanyang, which the emperor naturally agreed to since he had moved the mind of Dutch spices.

But what Liu Yu saw was only the initiative to facilitate tax inspection and control trade after the capture of Malacca. and the subsequent seizure of Bangladesh, the cotton-producing area, to prepare for the industrial revolution, so as not to eat people in Dashun cotton.

What the emperor saw was that Malacca was a natural city wall, a natural fortress that could isolate the Celestial Empire from the outside world.

At that time, the port of foreign trade can be placed in Malacca to isolate the influence of Westerners in the interior, especially the spread of Catholicism, as well as some sayings of "no king and no father".

At that time, a new tributary system will be established within the Strait of Malacca, and the kingdom will continue to be the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, ensuring that the Chinese people and Japan and Vietnam will be isolated from the influence of Westerners.

Externally, he used the Strait of Malacca as a window to maintain contacts with the West as much as possible, and he was able to close the situation once it was beyond his control and threatened the imperial power and rule, and from then on he closed the door and lived a small life, and continued to live a small life.

The idea of such a dual-track system had quietly taken shape in the emperor's mind. As for the Indian cotton that Liu Yu cared about, Liu Yu didn't say it, but maybe even if he did, the emperor wouldn't be too interested.

is like the emperor once said to Liu Yu, seize Malacca, enter to attack India, retreat through the South Seas.

However, once it comes to advancing and retreating, the emperor's heart is actually inclined to retreat.

Soon after, the Emperor entertained the French mission, and took the opportunity to read out the open conventions and some innocent Sino-French treaties, the real secret treaties were kept secret.

At the beginning, it was said that the thunder would be loud, and the specifications of this banquet were not weaker than those of the Russian delegation when they came to negotiate trade and demarcation issues.

There were only a few conventions that could be made public, and the Russian envoy in the capital immediately panicked.

Count Morpa's level is high enough, and the level of the people entertained by Dashun is also high enough, and the two sides have been talking for nearly a month, and they have talked about some of these things?

If the sky is broken, the Russian envoy will not believe it.

Now Dashun is negotiating with Russia on the northwestern border, and the appearance of the French envoy has completely disrupted the position of the Russians.

Politically, what can be said on the surface is basically nonsense.

Especially when such high-level representatives of the two sides have been talking for more than a month, Russia is very skeptical that some kind of agreement has been reached between China and France.

The Russian envoy urgently asked to meet with the British Minister, but the British Minister said that the French had come to talk about it as simple as that, and did not talk much about it.

These words, the Russians do not believe at all.

The war that broke out over the ownership of Khalkha Mongolia and Heilongjiang is still fresh in the memory of the Russians. The judgment made at that time was that Dashun's artillery was good, the light cavalry was okay, and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers were very good, but the tactical system of musketeers was outdated.

Not long after the border conflict, the Qingzhou army used a new tactical system to perform a wave of reformed new army tactics in front of the accompanying Russian envoys.

In particular, the extremely fast marching speed and the speed of changing formations, as well as the excellent artillery technology, left an extremely deep impression on the Russian envoys.

A painting of "Liu Yu Crossing the Altai Mountains", which has strong political meaning and young people's ambitions, is more like Dashun's claim of victory in the Western Regions, and also like a metaphor for "Dashun has crossed the mountain of the army gap".

Five years ago, Dashun was an army at the level of a thirty-year war, and five years later it quickly surpassed Russia.

The astonishing logistical capabilities displayed in the Battle of Pingzhun made the Russian envoy know that this was a formidable potential enemy. Russia could not afford to amass so many troops from such a distance, and logistics would collapse Russia's finances.

The guns of the Qingzhou Army are all French guns, and there are obvious extravagant characteristics of the Bourbon Dynasty on the cannons, such as those good-looking but useless cannon-tailed beast head statues.

This time, the French came to the capital of Dashun with great fanfare, and the first thing that came to the mind of the Russian envoy was the conclusion of an alliance between China and France against Russia.

Russia and France were at odds with each other over the Polish question. France, a traditional ally of the Ottomans, deepened this contradiction.

There is a long border between Russia and Dashun, and after Dashun gets the Western Regions, it is closer to the hinterland of Russia.

Faced with this situation, the Russian envoy must inquire clearly.

After the British had eaten the closed door, the Russian envoy visited the French mission.

The answer that can be obtained is the same as that of the British public, which is what is on the surface.

The more he said this, the more intense this uneasiness became, and the Russian envoy seriously suspected that Dashun had signed an alliance with France against Russia.

This is a newly exchanged envoy, and the envoy who originally followed Liu Yu to the Western Regions has returned to China.

Liu Yu has not been in the capital in the past few years, and this new envoy can't go directly to see Liu Yu, so he had to go around and find Hannibal, who was already wearing Dashun's official uniform, hoping that Hannibal would come forward to introduce him.

However, Liu Yu said that he was sick and refused. This refusal further deepened the unease of the Russian envoy.

In the Forbidden Palace, both the British Duke and Liu Yu are there.

The Emperor was there observing the rifled gun loaded with Mini bullets, and after trying to stimulate it a few times, he praised: "If there is a craftsman who solves the method of rifling in the future, so that the price of a gun is less than ten taels of silver, this thing will surely be very popular in the world." ”

"The northern border troubles of the Celestial Empire for thousands of years have been worry-free since then. There are so many craftsmen in the Celestial Empire, and it still costs twenty or thirty taels of silver to make one, where can the steppe nomads afford it? Even if the Western Regions will rebel in the future, what is there to fear? Last time, 10,000 people entered the Western Regions, and in the future, 35,000 people will be able to run rampant. ”

He's still knowledgeable.

This kind of transaction cannot be hidden from the emperor.

Liu Yujin offered two high-quality ones for the emperor to hunt, and after trying them once, he couldn't put them down.

This shot is really accurate, and it is still far away.

Although the gun was good, the emperor still allowed Liu Yu to use this to make a deal with the French.

In addition to his trust in Liu Yu's judgment, the emperor also considered the situation in Europe.

Since Europe is still a world of great wars, and there is a Britain with an annual income of 20 or 30 million taels overseas, it is a good idea to make France the source of great chaos in Europe.

Especially after looking at the map, knowing that the Netherlands and France are very close, and the Netherlands is so small, I am even more convinced that this transaction is beneficial to Dashun.

The Netherlands is the root, and the East India Company is wood. A tree without roots, water without a source, cannot last long. If France could conquer the Netherlands, the South Seas would have been achieved without any effort.

Liu Yu also understands that this kind of firearm is either not used, as long as it is used, all European countries can imitate it, because the principle is very simple and can be understood at one point.

The Emperor was convinced.

After rubbing the rifled flintlock pistol for a while, the emperor said: "Although the armor is sharp, and the leather weapons are strong, the war is to make money." I see that this kingdom of France will surely be defeated. The country of Nayinggui Li has a great ocean as a beggar, if it is like Qin Juguanzhong, the tiger looks at the princes and fights with each other. France, but a pawn. ”

"You need a navy stronger than the British and Dutch, and an army stronger than Orop, in order to win a big victory. How can such a country last long? ”

After playing with the firearm for a while, the emperor suddenly said: "When I saw this, I suddenly thought of a story in the "Tongjian". ”

"Wang Meng's golden knife plan."

Liu Yu was a little confused, he knew Wang Meng, but he was really not interested in the chaos of that era.

Besides, "Zizhi Tongjian" is so thick, even if he has the mind to read over the years, it is impossible to read it all.

What is this Golden Knife Meter?

The British Duke on the side immediately understood and praised: "Your Majesty is Shengming." The reason why Murong Ling was in the scheme was that he saw Murong Chui's golden knife. If there was no such golden knife as a token, Murong Ling would not believe it if he said anything to the intermediary. ”

Wang Meng asked Murong Chui to send a token as a parting commemoration, and then took this and this as a commemorative token, found a spy and gave it to Murong Ling, saying that the token was here, and fled back to Yan Kingdom together...... If there is no golden sword, how can you believe it? ”

"Your Majesty, is this going to put this spear in front of the Rakshasa people and make the golden knife of Fa Lanxi?"

Liu Yu, whose cultural level is very insufficient, was confused, and the emperor deliberately glanced at Liu Yu, and before answering the words of the British duke, he first said to Liu Yu: "Be normal, you will read more in the future." It is wise to read history and learn from history. This practical knowledge is certainly useful, but this knowledge of controlling chaos is in the history books. It's not enough for you to just read the first four histories, but you can't read more books in the future. ”

encouraged Liu Yu twice, and then talked about the ins and outs of the golden knife plan, and Liu Yu also understood.

The emperor said: "Our dynasty has just undergone military reform, and it has only been a few years since the Qingzhou army was formed. How could the Rakshasa people believe in the Celestial Empire's outstanding spirits, how could they make such a new gun? ”

"If you see it, you must think that it is a gift from France."

"Ordnance matters should not be easily passed on. Since the French are spread to this dynasty, they must have asked for this dynasty. ”

"This dynasty really wants to pass through the South Seas, the key is the ship, and the Netherlands must not be known first."

"And with this golden sword, the Rakshasa people must think that the current dynasty is focused on the Western Regions, and the French country has given new guns, which must instigate our dynasty to start a war with it."

"This gun is not made in France, but the Rakshasa people must think that it is produced in France. In this way, the Rakshasas will be shocked. ”

"The matter of the northwest boundary survey, it will back down."

After talking about the general strategy, Liu Yu said in his heart, these people are really good at playing with their hearts, but fortunately, their plans don't need to play with their hearts, otherwise they don't know how to die.

Just show the shooting of such a firearm in front of the Russians, and the Russians will definitely think that it was sent by the French.

There are no French characters written on it, and there is no seal of the French king, but under the inertial thinking, the Russians believe more in the French gunsmithing technology, and do not believe that a Dashun who was at the level of the Thirty Years' War ten years ago would make this new gun.

The French sent guns, and the Russians must have thought that the French were cooperating with Dashun to build an alliance between the east and the west to contain Russia.

It can not only cover the essence of the secret treaty against the Netherlands, but also obtain the greatest benefits on the issue of northwest boundary demarcation, which really kills two birds with one stone.

The British Duke and Liu Yu patted the emperor's sycophants together for a while, and Li Gan said: "This matter, the British Duke is just going to do it." As a rule, it is necessary to hasten to select the craftsmen who will follow the French mission to France. ”

"If it were another country, I would not allow it. Such as the British, Dutch, etc., there are many words that there is no king and no father. This country of France is somewhat similar to its own country, and there is no need to worry about those people learning some nonsense. ”

The emperor was still a little wary of the Dutch parliament's nonsense, and the British cut off the king's head. Although Liu Yu tampered with some content and confused the main points, the emperor was still worried about the introduction of ideas that threatened the imperial power.

Liu Yu also understands the emperor's thoughts, but you don't know in your heart, Britain and the Netherlands are just a small fight, and France is the real revolutionary old area......
